Chemical Farming

By Conrad Wilson

"Chemical Farming" explores the pervasive use of synthetic chemicals in modern agriculture and its profound effects on the environment, human health, and the sustainability of food production. Conrad Wilson delves into the history of chemical farming, tracing its rise with the advent of industrial agriculture and the green revolution. The book critically examines the benefits and drawbacks of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, highlighting their role in boosting crop yields while also exposing the associated risks such as soil degradation, water contamination, and biodiversity loss.

Wilson also discusses alternative and sustainable farming practices that reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, promoting ecological balance and long-term agricultural viability. This book is a valuable resource for environmental scientists, agricultural students, farmers, and anyone concerned about the future of food production and the health of our planet.
